Rep. Peter King (R-NY) came under criticism this week for refusing to broaden a series of hearings on Muslim radicalization in the wake of Friday's terror attack in Norway. During today's hearing, King responded, lashing out at the "politically correct media" for "shamelessly attempting to exploit the horrific tragedy in Norway this past Friday to cause me to refocus these hearings away from Muslim-American radicalization." He went on to say that he "will not back down," in part because he "owe[s] it to all the friends, neighbors, and constituents I lost on September 11th."

Since his speech on the Middle East last Thursday, President Obama's opponents have falsely attacked him for calling on Israel to return to its "1967 borders." In reality, Obama repeated the ordinary belief that an eventual Israeli-Palestinian peace deal should result in two states with secure borders "based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps," which will allow Israel to retain large settlements in the West Bank. Addressing the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the president explained very clearly that his original statement meant that the final border negotiated between the parties "will be different than the one that existed on June 4, 1967." However, that hasn't stopped many House Republicans from perpetuating a smear against Obama for something he never actually said.
